Venue

The Workshop will be held at MIT's Stata Center in Cambridge,
MA, USA in the Kiva Conference room. Kiva, G449, is located on
the 4th floor of the Gates Tower of the Stata Center.

A few notes about the building: The Stata Center can be a
bit confusing as there are two towers: Gates and Dreyfoos.
This workshop will be held in the Gates Tower, the entrance to
which is on the corner of Vassar and Main Streets.

We will provide coffee, lunch and refreshments during the
breaks. There will be wireless Internet access.

It is possible to follow along remotely, though we can't promise good sound quality. Those attending remotely may dial the Zakim conference bridge at +1.617.761.6200 and use the conference code 733825 (RDFVAL). The irc channel will be on W3C's IRC server: irc.w3.org port 6665 channel #rdfval.

How to get to the Stata Center

The MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
(CSAIL) is
located at the northeastern edge of the MIT campus on
Vassar Street near the intersection with Main Street.

Boston Logan
International Airport is the closest international airport
to MIT. The travel time between the airport and hotels in
Cambridge will vary between 30 minutes to one hour depending on
traffic conditions. Taxis from the airport are plentiful and
fares will range around $30-40.

The Stata Center is located a few blocks away from the MBTA
Red line Kendall/MIT stop (directions).
We strongly suggest that visitors use public transportation.
Alternately, several of the the hotels provide shuttle service
to MIT.

Parking

The MIT
Parking
and Transportation Office does not offer pay lots for
visitors. They note: "Because the number of visitor parking spaces
on campus is limited, it may not be possible to accommodate every
visitor who wishes to park at MIT.... We strongly recommend using
public transportation when visiting the MIT campus." There is
hourly on-street parking available around the Stata Center though
Cambridge is a busy area and parking may be difficult to find,
especially in inclement weather.

Information on paid parking lots near campus can be found on
MIT's parking
site.
